Bronze/green-patinated Egyptian-style statuette of a female deity with a tall feather-like crown and a broad beaded collar, standing upright with one arm lowered.
The image shows a small full-length standing figure wearing a tall, conical/feather-shaped headdress and a wide collar composed of parallel looped/beaded bands across the chest. The face is human with downcast or forward gaze; the arms are set low at the sides, with the right hand slightly forward. The torso is rendered with naturalistic forms, and the lower body ends in a rectangular base. The surface is dark green with mottled corrosion/patina consistent with a copper alloy. Near the headdress and collar, there are areas that appear lighter or differently colored (possibly traces of inlay), but the presence and extent of precious-metal inlay cannot be confirmed from the image alone. No clearly readable hieroglyphs, cartouches, or inscriptions are visible on the body or base. No Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is present.
